Introduction

I believe therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where you can be authentically yourself. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and difficult life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I take the time to understand your experiences, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we develop a personalized path forward using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Family and Marital Therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). As Founder and Clinical Director of Meliora Wellness & Harmony, I am committed to creating an environment where mental health care feels welcoming, personal, and supportive. My goal is for every client to feel heard, understood, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change.
